How To Make salmon with butter lemon dill sauce

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Get out a rimmed cookie sheet. Mix coriander and salt.
  • 2
    Debone fish. Sprinkle the coriander mixture evenly over the flesh side of the fish. Set aside.
  • 3
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Melt butter or ghee.
  • 4
    Place filets skin side down in the pan. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • 5
    Flip. Cook for 3 minutes more.
  • 6
    Place filets in the rimmed cookie sheet and put into the preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes.
  • 7
    To make the dill sauce, combine bone broth, heaving whipping cream, sour cream, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk and set aside.
  • 8
    Using the same pan you used for the fish, melt the butter over medium-high heat. I tend to simply wipe it clean with a paper towel.
  • 9
    Add garlic paste and cook for about one minute, until fragrant.
  • 10
    Turn down the heat to medium-low. Add cream mixture using a whisk to stir.
  • 11
    Add dill. Stir over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • 12
    Add lemon and whisk.
  • 13
    Remove fish from oven and place in the pan, skin side down. Spoon butter dill sauce over each filet. Cook an additional 2 minutes continuing to spoon sauce over the top. Remove from heat and plate.
